Oasis Hunters is a Barcelona-based marketplace for secret rural getaways in Spain. It connects travellers with selected rural hotels and houses in villages of fewer than 10,000 inhabitants. Customers choose their dates, preferences and how far they are willing to drive, and the destination is revealed 48 hours before departure together with a digital guide to local activities and restaurants. It has also added a line of sustainable events for companies. Joshua Molina and Marina Teixidor founded the company in 2020, and it took part in the first acceleration programme run by AticcoLab. In 2021 it raised a €135,000 first round, mostly from business angels and including a participative loan from Enisa. Revenue grew 200% in 2022 to close to €400,000.
